Johnh Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Anybody had to repair rear window track in hard body Reo ? Have looked at a pic of one with what looks to be well rotted (bottom) tracks for the windows, are we looking at a big job to fix ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomboom Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hi Johnh Any bits i need for my General i get from Marltrax as i maybe just as easy to replace than repair. boomboom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the repair simple ? are the parts easy to get is it a big job ? I certainly would expect to replace rather than weld etc, just asking for some guidance, as I know the prospective purchaser just wants to play, I will be left to fix it !

Boblester40 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 That depends on your skill , if you are good at welding and grinding should be no problem, i should think there are very few people on here with hard cabs and even less who have had to reapir them , steelsoliders is the place to find out . rgds bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy harleston eng Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 forgive my ignorance but, im guessing its the bottom runner, could it be removed and repaired reasonably with a cemical metal ,and replaced the other way up? this would stop most of the water getting in! would be a cheap easy fix. i have a steel top on my 715 and without looking im sure it could be easy enough????? :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
